First edition, extremely rare.<\/span><\/p>\n Dedicated to the Queen of Poland and Sweden, the work begins with an overview of dentition, beginning with an explanation of the absence of teeth at birth, followed by numerology to define the \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018bad\u2019 months for teething. The doctor puts forward ideas about how late teething would harden the gums, making teething more painful or even dangerous. The next chapter deals with the effects of food on dentition, starting with \u2018milk that is too thick\u2019 due to the mother’s moods, followed by the correct choice of a nurse to ensure that the milk is perfect for growth. Finally, he recommends perfect child hygiene (for example, regular baths in a well-tempered environment) to ensure good teething. In the event of catarrh due to dentition, the doctor considers that bloodletting is necessary, followed by the application of \u2018a fire button behind the teste\u2019. The book ends with a very detailed table covering all the subjects discussed.<\/p>\n Jean-Claude de la Courv\u00e9e (ca. 1615-1664) was born in V\u00e9soul in Franche-Comt\u00e9 and died in Poland. After studying in Paris, he waged a bitter war against the practice of bloodletting and attracted the ire of the famous physician Guy Patin. To escape these quarrels, La Courv\u00e9e settled in Poland, where he was appointed physician to the Queen of Poland around 1650.<\/p>\n \u201cJean-Claude de La Courv\u00e9e (Vesoul vers 1615-Pologne vers 1664) avait \u00e9tudi\u00e9 la m\u00e9decine \u00e0 Paris (sans y recevoir le bonnet doctoral), puis s\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e9tabli \u00e0 Argenteuil. Il se fit bient\u00f4t conna\u00eetre en combattant l\u2019usage fr\u00e9quent de la saign\u00e9e et en recommandant l\u2019emploi de l\u2019\u00e9m\u00e9tique. Ces id\u00e9es lui avaient valu de violentes attaques. Pour \u00e9chapper aux tracasseries de la Facult\u00e9, La Courv\u00e9e s\u2019\u00e9tait rendu en Pologne et y \u00e9tait devenu m\u00e9decin de la reine Marie<\/i>\u201d (Descuret in Panckoucke).<\/p>\n WorldCat has located only 4 copies of this extremely rare edition (France: BnF; Poland: Krakow; Spain: Madrid, Complutense; United Kingdom: British Library).
